Ladies and gentlemen start your popcorn! Chef's nephew, the Mechanic, who is the adult son of Mr Not So Neutral, and who promised to rebuild Chef's vintage vehicle in exchange for a brand new fancy heating system has gotten engaged to party girl BM2.
We haven't seen hide nor hair of either of them since Chef put in that huge, top of the line heating system for them in their garage for free. Crickets about the vintage vehicle as well. Most of the vintage vehicle parts remain cluttered up in my garage so they haven't so much as touched one bolt on it I'm sure.
That is the question. This will be long.
I don’t know what to think anymore. Last week Thursday, I complained to DH I didn’t feel he was giving me the attention I wanted as a woman. I know he’s struggling with the ED thing but it doesn’t always have to be about sex, we can cuddle, hang out, hug, whatever.
He said he just needs a day where I’m not complaining about what he doesn’t do.
Omg .... nothing worse than trying to figure out who is better
worrying if they somehow know
feeling guilty knowing intel they don't and not trying to inadvertently hurt anyone
And feeling anxiety that the wrong choice will leave me single for decades
Matter of fact all this thinking has me think maybe I should just be like eff it and eliminate them both
maybe I'm better off single with less stuff to think about
I've seen tons of posts where the stepparent and their spouse cannot take the phone away from the skid because it belongs to BM. Well, today, I saw a meme that had the perfect solution. You take the phone and enter 3 random passwords until the phone locks for 8 hours. YES!!
When she informed me, all I said was "Go file."
Between CPEs to renew my professional cert I have been binge watching reels and clips. One I saw today is a man whose DW is handing him divorce papers which include a CS agreement for a kid that is not his. They met when the kid was 7. No adoption.
We live in Western NC and as many have seen on the news, it is utter devastation. We are alive and well as are our loved ones and no major damage other than a roof leak and a little flooding in the basement. We are the lucky ones and the few. So many have lost everything including their lives. No one could have ever expected this...not like this.
Have y'all ever been in a position where you had to choose between one man (or woman) and another man (or woman)?
What helped you make the choice? And had the choice ever been hard to make?
How do you determine between divulging too much information (leaving you with zero choices) vs not divulging enough (and the prospective partners thinking you're not transparent/lying/playing games/etc)?
Well DH sure got an earful from SD. Her decision to have nothing to do with him is because he NEVER put her first and he doesn't put her first NOW. This is a grown woman with a husband and children, but apparently Daddy needs to fall at her feet.
And he's not allowed to be in touch with her children because she doesn't want them to feel the way she has felt her WHOLE LIFE. I'm
She's delusional, and narcissism comes to mind.
SS26 is getting engaged next weekend. Well he is asking her anyway.
Her parents and the mothers boyfriend are to attend as well, but it will awkward for them three. Seems they cant be in the same room without arguing.
We don't really know the parents too well. We have tried on multiple occasions to engage them in conversations but it always goes like this:
Us: so how are you?
Them: fine
Us: great, so (insert any question at all here to try to get to know them)
Them: answers and then walks away.
NOTHING!
I had friends over on Sunday for a cocktail afternoon. Stopped at the liquor Sunday and got strawberry puree for strawberry margaritas.
Never ended up making strawberry ones just regular ones.
I open the fridge just now and notice that it's not where I left it and it's half empty. Like wtf. Seriously. It's not for strawberry f'n milk or something!!
I text SO and say whoever used it owes me $8. He responded with "I told SS21 he could use it. I'll buy you another one."
